Hypocrisy Alert: Congress To Exempt Itself From Obamacare

Hypocrisy alert. Our moral and intellectual superiors in Congress will get to keep their gold-plated health care benefits even if Obamacare passes, because they will exempt themselves from the inefficient, rationed care that the rest of us little people will receive:

From Gateway Pundit:

While it’s not news that Congressional health insurance plans are posh, CBS News recently uncovered the details of plans – right as the details of the Baucus health care bill are being hashed out.

Members of Congress can choose from five different plans, and have access to both the VIP Bethesda Naval Hospital and a reserved spot Ward 72 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, an elite division usually reserved for military members. Their everyday medical concerns can be taken care of at a doctors office located inside of Congress.

Their premiums are the same as those of insurance plans with half the benefits, and the plans last a lifetime; not until Medicare kicks in do ex-Members or loose their Congressional health benefits. Congress has repeatedly voted down any provision that would switch their insurance plans to the lower-grade public option if Obamacare goes through.
